Maybe--but judging by Alabama, I certainly wouldn't assume Reps will win a special election in AZ. Especially not if it's a Kelli Ward running for Reps.
The dude is leaving D.C. and will miss the tax vote this week.... traitor.
Sen. McCain returning to Arizona, will miss tax bill vote.
Washington (CNN) - Sen. John McCain is heading home to Arizona to continue recovering from the side effects of chemotherapy for a brain tumor and will not be in Washington for the tax vote this week, two sources close to McCain confirmed to CNN.
McCain is unlikely to return to Washington this year, one of the sources said. But his ability to get on a plane to Arizona was a "good sign," a source said.
McCain left Walter Reed Medical Center "exhausted, but ok," a Republican close to him said.
Yep one Rep being absent is effectively the same as a no vote, but the Repubs will likely pass their tax bill anyway. They could still lose another and have it pass.
